gallons of gasoline. The highest
mileage was 23.05 miles to the gal
lon, while the lowest was 17.64.
This latter figure did not take into
allowance that the driver was
forced to back up a long hill to es
cape a detour traffic tangle.
The detour la between Oregon
City and New Era, where the new
Pacific highway pavement la under
construction. It adds materially to
the difficulty, from gas consump
tion standpoint, as It Is fairly rough
macadam with several hills that,
in the press of traffic, must be
taken on second and at tlmea low
gear.
The run was made with ears
from the different metropolitan
dealers, several of the machines
entering without any advance tun
ning up, having Just come in from
' I long trips. Throughout the entire
j run practically normal driving
practlcea were maintained. -
The cars were started from the
service station of W. O. MiMment,
being filled with 10 gallons ot Gen
eral gasoline and sealed under the
aupervlslon of Captain Frank Ervln
of the Portland traffic department
and local newspaper men. An aver-
lage of 100 miles was traversed by
each car, the trip being completed
In about four hours. Including a
short atop for lunch.
